You can hire a party magician in Singapore for a birthday, an anniversary, a house party or a dinner with friends. For adult guests, close-up magic with the drinks is the usual choice. Mind reading or a short show works once everyone is in one room. For a children's party, see the kids birthday party magician page.
Price: roving close-up magic usually costs SGD 600 to 1,200 for 1 to 2 hours. A mentalist usually costs SGD 1,500 to 3,500 for 30 to 45 minutes. See magician prices in Singapore.
What suits a private party
Close-up magic. The magician walks up to a group of four to eight guests and performs with cards, coins and borrowed rings, a few steps from their eyes. Nobody has to sit down or stop talking. It is the easiest way to get guests who do not know each other laughing together. See roving and close-up magic.
Mind reading. A mentalist works with predictions and psychological effects instead of sleight of hand. It suits a milestone birthday or an anniversary, where the guests know each other. See mentalists in Singapore.
A short show. Once everyone is together, a short set brings the room into one moment. Volunteers come from your guests, so the show is about your people.
Party ideas that work
| Party | What fits |
|---|---|
| Adult birthday at home | Close-up magic with the drinks, then a few minutes of mind reading |
| Anniversary dinner | Close-up magic before dinner, a short set after the meal |
| House party or condo party | Close-up magic as guests arrive and mingle |
| Party with children and adults | A kids show for the children, close-up magic for the parents |
Timing on the night
Plan the magic for when guests are standing. Roving magic does not work once people are seated and eating, so keep it to the drinks before dinner. If you want magic after the meal, book a short set where everyone can see. One roving magician covers about 80 to 120 guests over 90 minutes, which is more than most home parties need.
Space and the venue
Close-up magic needs no stage, no microphone and no setup. A mentalist's short set needs a chair or two for volunteers, and a microphone if the room is large. Check whether your condo function room allows confetti or fire effects before you ask for them. If parking is tight, say so when you book, so the magician can plan travel time or arrange parking with the management office.
How to book
Send the date, the venue, the number of guests and the kind of party. You get a shortlist with photos, videos and profiles of the magicians who are free, and you choose. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead where you can, and earlier for year-end parties and Chinese New Year.
